Background

About Anne Sobel

CREATION IS AN ADVENTURE - Whether ghostwriting the history of modern warfare in Ukraine for an oligarch, learning to roller skate dance on Chicago's Southside for a film, or teaching cinematography in Qatar, I spent the past twenty years getting out of my comfort zone. I can't help but take up a challenge. Recently, I tackled my greatest challenge yet: writing The Exchange, a Netflix hit series in the Middle East and beyond. Through these experiences, I learned how to leap into the unknown with equal measures of humility and aplomb- AND THE BEST ADVENTURES STRETCH US, We don't travel, explore, invent, and create to stay the same. We do it because we dream of going further. That’s why I don't like hanging out in the status quo or making things I’ve seen before. My work is a love letter to my younger self. I write the stories I wish I had growing up. But it's also a love letter to anyone whose stories have been excluded, distorted, or trivialized.(Because I also want to write the stories they wish they had growing up.) Daring to go further has led me to work with high-profile organizations and clients such as Kartemquin Films, Image Nation, the BBC, and Northwestern University in Qatar. In addition, documentaries I produced have been nominated for Emmys and premiered on national television and Opening Night at Sundance. In other words, I know a good story when I see one, and I know how to draw a crowd. SO LET'S TAKE THE LEAP. If you have a project that’s burning inside you, reach out. I’m always happy to discuss project collaborations and my creative coaching practice. For coaching: resourcedcoaching.com For collaboration: annesobel.com
